Erin and Fran – Engagement Session

Monday, April 25, 2011

Last weekend, I met up with Erin and Fran for their engagement session. We met on a beautiful day in Fairmount Park, right in front of the Valley Green Inn. As usual, during the engagement sessions, I just like to take the time to take with each couple and find out what makes them tick. We walked around for about an hour and shared a ton of laughs! They were both very relaxed from the start in front of the camera. That makes my job a lot easier! While it may be repetitive for me to say this, I’m really looking forward to their wedding!

Tiffany and Nate – Engagement Session

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

More Engagement sessions! More happy people, more smiles, more laughing . . . and more dogs!

I met up with Tiffany, Nate and Nate’s daughter at Ridley Creek State Park. I don’t know what it is this year, but I can’t get people to stop laughing while photographing their engagement pictures. Tiffany and Nate weren’t any different. Tons of laughs and just relaxed moods. The pups helped and a made an appearance in a few pictures. Bulldogs seem to be very easy to photograph, and Boxers are good for big sloppy (drooling) kisses.

Courtney and Paul – Engagement Session

Friday, April 8, 2011

Last weekend I met up with Courtney and Paul for their engagement session. Courtney helps with the student life on George school, so we used the school grounds as our location. The early April weather barely could have been better. They also brought along their two dogs. Ben and Roxy. I love dogs, and these two were so much fun and friendly. They wanted to be with Courtney and Paul the whole time (as you’ll see from the pictures)

We walked around for a bit, talked for a bit, and took some pictures. Just the way I like to photograph engagement sessions.

Here’s their preview.

Heather and Shaun – Engagement Session

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

Continuing with engagement session. I met up with Heather and Shaun for their engagement session at Green Lane Park. They brought their son with them, and he was adorable and cooperated so well!

Heather and Shaun are planning for a very small, but intimate wedding at the end of this month and it sounds like it is shaping up to be a very special night for everyone attending.

Here are a few shots from our time at the park.
